To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, John A. SILBERMANN and J ACOP, G. Ronntisn, citizens of the United States, residing at Frackville, in the county of Schuylkill and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scoops; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exat description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of this invention, and is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a sectional view.

This invention has relation to spoons or scoops for ice-cream, lard, and similar substances; and it consists inthe construction and novel arrangement of devices, as hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter a designates the body of the scoop, which is rectangular in transverse section, and is provided with the handle 1), extending back parallel with the bottom a of the scoop or bowl portion a. The side walls, d d, are parallel.

In the back wall, e, of the scoop is made a perforation, g, which communicates with an axial chamber, h, in the handle, which is somewhat larger in diameter than said perforation. A

spiral spring, 8, is seated in said chamber sur- 5 rounding thenarrow portion 7.: of the push-rod Z, which extends through the perforation g, and is fastened to the discharge-, iatem. This plate is of rectangular shape, conforming to that of the scoop a, and at its upper portion is provided with a transverse flange, 1 which extends forward or parallel to the body, and

is designed to assist in effecting the delivery of the mass contained in the scoop at the end thereof, preventing it from slipping over the upper edgeofthe plateintotheehamber, which is left behind said plate as it is pushed fo rward in making the discharge. The push-r0 d I is made with a shoulder at n to engage ih 0 end of the spring. Outward from said shoulder this rod is of larger diameter that at L, 5( being designed to lit the spring-chamber it neatly. The length of this portion 1 ofthe rod is a little greater than that of the scoop, so that when the push-plate is retractet'l to the back of the scoop the end ofthis enlarged portion of the rod will remain in the chamber.

.3 is a knob on the end of thepusli-rod, upon which pressure is made in making the discharge. This knob also serves as a stop to prevent the plate in from being pushed beyond 6( the end or lip of the scoop.

.ll'aving described this inventi r What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The rectangular scoop a, having the chambered handle I), the push-plate in, working in the scoop and having the transverse flange v, the springs in the chamber of the handle, and. the push rod 6, shouldered at a, and having the enlargement longer than the scoop, and 7c the knob-stop adapted to prevent the pushplate from leaving the lip of the scoop, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereofwe aliixoursignatiii es in presence of two witnesses.
